  • I assume some have already come across this article? I can understand them wanting to kill off Bond, particularly Craig who was quite exhausted after Spectre. But talking about a Doctor Who style regeneration? That's more sci-fi than even Moonraker..
  • I honestly don't see why Dan Stevens isn't being touted as the next likliest actor to be Bond. I appreciate everyone has their favourites but I can't see Tom Hiddleston as 007. He's a great actor, has a good voice and presence but just doesn't have …

  • Risico wrote: It's a fine title for a short story about a doomed relationship; I don't think it's a great title for a movie, and the same goes for 'OO7 In New York'. My point is it was a daft idea trying to squeeze more relevance out of the title…

  • Here's an interesting excerpt from the latest issue of SFX magazine: While Skyfall delivers a standalone villain in Javier Bardem's falmboyant, charismatically menacing Silva, (Barbara) Broccoli says that the filmmakers haven't abandoned the shad…
  • Gustav_Graves wrote: Let's agree to disagree then. That's the lovely thing about the Bond franchise. This franchise is so frikkin' huge, with some many films and different interpretations. The fact that we have these discussions only enhances the …
  • I'm going to see it at the IMAX in Kingston so really looking forward to it. The only film I've seen in proper IMAX (not any of the derivatives like 'IMAX digital') is The Dark Knight Rises and it was spectacular.
  • Whatever people's opinions are on the use of the gunbarrel and its placement within the film. I thought it was quite cleverly used in CR and at least they tried to utilise it in a different way to keep it fresh whilst actually making it relevant to …
  • I'm not a fan of Adele, but I really really like her Skyfall track. I do hope it gets to no.1 if it's not already there! "Taxi!...Taxi!!.." oh wait, it won't stop, Baltimore_007's in the back. I guess he left in such a hurry he forgot his coat.
  • I see what you mean, but I loved the CR one because they made it fit into the story and it becomes a part of the narrative. I suppose the only important thing is to have one in a film!
  • Just a question for everyone. Which gunbarrel style do you prefer: A CR 'woven into story' type? Or the traditional 'walk-on' version?
  • Gustav_Graves wrote: For you, me and other Bond fans: yes. For ordinary cinema-go-ers: no. We understand this arc-thing. And frankly, we Bond fans would have loved the ending of OHMSS to be part of the pre credits sequence of DAF. But frankly, I t…

  • I'd love it to be in the vain of the CR one as that was quite clever and it's woven into the story, so it doesn't feel like an 'add-on'.
  • What I look forward to seeing is some of the action taking place in the UK's capital. That's something I always wanted to see Craig's Bond get involved in. M's smashing of the glass ashtray didn't count. Although funnily enough, that silouhette of B…

  • Looks good. I did raise an eyebrow at the "Country?" "England" bit. United Kingdom really heh. We seem to have a fractured Bond. We know SIS comes under attack and M's past comes back to haunt her. Perhaps Javier Bardem's character was someone M tri…
  • For me, I like the dry humour. The quips in the Craig films were funny. Moments such as when Bond reverses that arsehole's 4x4 into another car and then says good evening to him later or when M asks him not to kill every possible lead and he dryly …
